P.S. I love you

 I watched PS I love you last night and it was a beautiful film.. with a mix of tears and laughter.  I feel it was very powerful the way that Gerry (who has died of a Brain tumour) had pre thought out before his death how his wife will react and how to move her through her grief..  He leaves her a series of letters to help her..with all the right things said to help her in that time she is in... The letters make her feel him around her until it is time to let go and move on.  She has to release…See More
